This blanket has been quite the experience. First, if the have super duper hot flashes, the only way to know if it will work for you is to try. I don't, I only have no sweat temperature changes. What I can tell you is that this blanket covers your body completely, very unlike a sheet. It's got weight for people who need that to sleep, not like a weighted blanket, like a regular blanket. However, I've never experienced a regular blanket fall to the bed surrounding my body and limbs completely. Sheets don't even do that. If you get warm pull it over and the cool part will touch you, do that as much as you want because it works to cool you. Something else I had to get used to was having a good blanket directly touch me instead of a sheet. And as I said the blankets around every little piece of you and falls right to the mattress below you. I've had the blanket now long enough that I've gotten used to it and I'm more soundly than being under any other type of blanket or comforter. Having said that we have a king dual adjustable bed. That means twin XL mattresses. Remember the last time you covered yourself in a blanket while watching television or in bed and you could either cover your shoulders or you could cover your feet because it was too short? That's this. Twin was what was available so that's what I ordered but even as a twin there should be enough coverage from head to toe to cover shoulders and feet at the same time. This is a huge defect in design. Also, this thing will slide off your sheets/ bed in a heartbeat…. think thin satin robe, slinking, sliding off your bed to the floor, you put it back on, it slides off again oh so elegantly, etc. It's way too short to tuck in at the foot area because it only covers up to about my waist when I do that. So I decided to tuck it between the two mattresses on the bed so that it would stop sliding off onto the floor and that has worked. Now I'm sleeping with it sometimes covering my feet sometimes covering my shoulders, sometimes with a sheet over it if the room is chilly…. IT'S REALLY TOO SHORT AND SHOULDN'T BE. I've done everything to make it work for me (a lot of time and nights of trial and error). I am not too hot. I like it now, except for the length. In another size, tucked in, it might work. One thing is for sure, you'll need chasing it around for cover cuz it's a slippery mother f*****. 🙂
